That “wobble” gives us our seasons.

[Christian Engineer Mass]

No, it's the constant axial tilt that gives us our seasons.

That “wobble” gives us our seasons.

Ahhh, no. More likely climatic changes such as glaciation.

That “wobble” gives us our seasons.

No, it doesn't. The wobble takes over 20,000 years to complete one cycle. A cycle of seasons happens once per year. An interesting thing about the precession of the equinox caused by the wobble, though, is that all the houses of the Zodiac are more than one house off from what they were when they became fixed in tradition. That is, if you're a Scorpio, it's because that's the sign under which you would have been born several thousand years ago. It's not the constellation under which you were actually born now. This is, in and of itself, sufficient to invalidate the whole notion of astrology.

the wobble is very slow- like on the order of 11,000 years or something

Right now the north star is exactly north because of the wobble- but there are times when it is not
